Jane my mother was having the same problem a year and a half ago. She was put on Clozaril which helped tremendously. She is also on Arricept, but I am not so sure that it is really doing much good. Hard to tell. She is 73 and has had Parkinson's for 10 years now. Seroquel is supposed to be good also, but is not as strong as Clozaril from what I understand. We tried going to the Seroquel recently as it is a less damaging drug but switched back to Clozaril because of side effects she was feeling. Hope this helps.
